Combining razor-sharp lyrics with a clever use of samples, Jay-Z has established a reputation as one of the most dynamic rappers to emerge in the late 1990s
Capitalizing on the amazing success of his previous album The Life and Times of S. Carter, the microphone master delivers the equally incredible The Dynasty: Roc La Familia 2000. The Brooklyn-born MC's gritty, no-holds-barred rhymes about street life contrast with a sense of melody that's unusual in the hip-hop genre, making this disc an immensely rewarding listening experience. Featuring the thumping single Parking Lot Pimpin', this album promises to add a host of fresh contributions to the growing Jay-Z lexicon.
